I'm into Bigfoot, flannel, craft beer, sad bastard music, & all things local. The X-Files is my favorite TV show. Fiona Apple is my queen, whom I worship regularly. My main hobby outside of work is knitting because I'm secretly a 60 year old woman. Follow me on Twitter if you want. Oh, and GO HAWKS!
